Congratulations to Nelson Rural School and Denise Murphy for winning 1 of 3 National Grants from Farm to School Zero Waste Challenge!! Great job everyone! Thank you to everyone who was involved in harvesting the garden, and preparing our preservatives.

This article is very informative on why schools use to have gardens and why they moved away from them as well. Now they realize the importance of them and why we should get our younger generations involved. Please read it you will not be disappointed.
Ms. Baldwin's Grade 8 International Students from Brazil; Emille, Breno and Julio, had a very successful first time bass fishing across the road from Nelson Rural School. In total, the students caught seven striped bass with Emille catching the largest. All three students had a great time thanks to one of our custodians, Buddy O'Toole, who was gracious enough to take them before his shift at school.
